combustion requires three ingredients sometimes referred to is the combustion triangle. Combustion requires air fuel on a source of ignition like a spark. An internal combustion engine uses a system of cylinders and pistons to create the conditions for combustion to take place. Valves allow fuel and air to mix in the cylinder. Were a spark or compression ignites the mixture. This controlled ignition of the fuel drives the piston down, turning energy from fuel into mechanical movement. Spark ignition engines use a spark plug to ignite a premixed air fuel mixture introduced into the cylinder. They can operate with either two or four stroke cycles. Less compression is necessary compared to compression engine designs. Natural gas spark ignition engines operate at modest compression ratios, depending on engine design and turbocharging.
